    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Tsunami is a large sea wave caused by an earthquake experienced along the coasts of Japan. An earthquake generates a tsunami if it is of sufficient force and there is a violent enough movement of the seafloor to cause substantial and sudden displacement of a massive amount of water. Tsunami (pronounced soo-NAH-mee) is a Japanese word, and in fact tsunamis are fairly common in Japan.
